Governor for a Day Essay Contest!


Metcalf recently had a top five winner in the 
Governor for a Day Essay Contest! 

That’s right, our very own Rebecca Kilday 
wrote a thoughtful and insightful essay highlighting the importance of computer education, specifically coding, and creative reading programs to promote a love of reading! Rebecca, we are so proud of you and think you would make a fantastic governor one day! 

Standards-Based Grading Parent Workshop 
June 6th, 6:00-6:30, Metcalf Library
Metcalf Elementary School will be moving to a Standards-Based Grading system for the 2016-2017 school year. This parent workshop will be the first of several to provide families with an understanding of what Standards-Based grading is, why we are moving from the traditional grading system, and what to expect from a Standards-Based report card. I hope to see you on Monday, 
June 6th, from 6:00-6:30 in the Metcalf library. 
This is a change in date from the previous announcement.
